Dubai Property Market Sets Global Benchmark for Record Transaction Speeds
Dubai, UAE – July 28th, 2025 – Despite recent headlines and local press suggesting a market slowdown over the summer period, the Dubai property market continues to be incredibly active, defying these perceptions. Properties are selling in record time, outperforming global standards, especially when they are accurately valued and strategically marketed using sold data from comparable tools like Allsopp & Allsopp’s data.hub.
Allsopp & Allsopp, a leading real estate agency in Dubai, today shared new insights that highlight a busy market where existing homeowners are making strategic moves.
A clear trend impacting the property market is existing property sellers showing confidence by reinvesting back into it.
Many are selling their current homes for more than they paid, which lets them upgrade to a larger property. Others are choosing smaller homes, making the most of the money they've made from their current property. This movement shows a confident and strong property landscape, far from any slowdown.
The real proof of the market's strength comes from how fast properties are being sold. Allsopp & Allsopp's sales data shows homes are selling exceptionally quickly across different popular areas, particularly when compared to global standards.
In the last two months, Allsopp & Allsopp reported:
Five villas sold in Emirates Living alone in less than 24 hours after going on the market, with sellers securing 98% of the property's valuation price showing intense buyer demand.
Multiple villas and townhouses have sold within 48 hours in communities such as Tilal Al Ghaf, Mira and Al Barari, with sellers achieving 97% of the property's valuation price, proving serious buyers are acting fast.
Likewise, ten apartments were bought in five days or less with sellers receiving 100% of the property's valuation price, again highlighting the rapid speed of transactions and sales happening at market value in Downtown Dubai, Dubai Creek Harbour, The Greens and Views and Dubai Marina.
The luxury market shows no signs of slowing down either, with a recent AED 46 million transaction at the end of June in Jumeirah Islands, marking the highest recorded sale in that community.
Lewis Allsopp, Chairman of Allsopp & Allsopp commented on what he’s seeing: “Contrary to belief, we’re still struggling to get saleable properties. When they do come on the market, they are sold at a record pace compared to anywhere else in the world. If we’ve got the right property, records show properties are coming off the market at ground speed.”
This strong performance shows Dubai’s appeal is very real. The Emirate continues to see unprecedented growth, driven by a stable environment for investment, a booming economy, and a continuously growing population.
Dubai’s property market isn’t just active - it’s confidently proving wrong any claims of a slowdown.
